Did change occur in protective behaviors?

Since beginning our interventional programs we have seen some progress in the adoption of protective behaviors. Particularly, we have seen increases in both the percentage of students who usually eat before drinking and in the percentage of students who use a designated driver.

In addition to these specific protective behaviors, we have seen increases in protective behaviors for the heavy drinkers. The percentage of heavy drinkers who are using one or more protective behaviors increased steadily from 2000-20006 while the percentage of heavy drinkers using no protective behaviors decreased steadily from 2000-2006.
